Decisions, decisions

I didn't plan to get 52 but I ended up getting it all, and was glad.

I didn't plan to get Countdown but I'm ending up getting it all, and so far I've been glad.

Countdown I got because it featured some characters I already liked. 52, I think I saw some of it online and was intrigued. On the whole, I think that one of the things that I liked about either series was the focus on characters who, for the most part, you don't see all that much of--they don't have their own title, or if they do have a place they regularly appear they share the spotlight.

Today I saw that the next DC weekly is going to be called Trinity and feature Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. That part, so far, doesn't appeal to me at all. All those characters have at least one book of their own, and we don't buy any of them (well, we get Wonder Woman but to be honest that's because the thirteen-year-old wants it). So, knowing that much about the book mainly inclines me to save some money.

Now, it also says that there will be two stories in each issue, and that the second story will vary (some one-shots, some continuing storylines), which says to me that this will probably be an occasional buy for me--get it when someone I'm interested in is in the backup, but otherwise not.

Because, with 52 and Countdown, even if I didn't care for all of the storylines, I knew that if I kept getting the book I would see something I did have an interest in pretty soon. If--with this Trinity book--the only consistent aspect is going to feature characters I don't need to see more of, there's really no reason for me to get it on a regular basis.
